1 Installation of 64-bit drivers
In this document, the installation of 64-bit drivers, i.e. drivers of the type
“ADDI-DATA Multiarchitecture Device Drivers 32-/64-Bit for x86/AMD64” is described.
NOTICE!
It is possible to install the 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 (64-bit) under Windows 7
(32-bit) as well.
The installation of 64-bit drivers for serial interfaces can be found in Chapter 2.
The drivers for other PC boards from ADDI-DATA are installed under Windows 7 or 10
as described on the following pages.
1.1 Driver signature
Table 1-1: Driver signature: Overview
Operating
system
Windows 7 Windows 10
32-bit 32-bit and 64-bit drivers
(no signature required)

64-bit 64-bit drivers
(signed by ADDI-DATA)
64-bit drivers
(signed by Microsoft)
WARNING!
Extension signature error under Windows 7
Since 23.09.2021, our Windows drivers are signed using SHA256 instead of
SHA1 algorithm.
This was imposed by Microsoft since SHA1 has been considered as unsafe.
In some circumstances, drivers signed after 23.09.2021 cannot be installed
anymore under Windows 7.
This error occurs only on systems which were not updated with the following
Windows updates/fixes.
• KB4490628 (update from 12 March 2019).
• KB4474419 (update from 23 September 2019).
Once those patches installed, drivers from third-party company signed using
SHA256 hashing algorithm (including ADDI-DATA) could be installed again.
